Located in a mature residential development within easy walking distance of Kilcoole village centre, in recent years this inviting property has undergone comprehensive remodelling and refurbishment to transform it into an outstanding contemporary family home.
Foremost among these improvement works is a seamless rear extension accommodating a well-proportioned open-plan kitchen/dining room/lounge. Thanks to the property’s south facing rear aspect, this space is flooded with natural light streaming through high-ceilinged roof light windows and double glass doors leading directly onto a sun patio that is perfectly placed to soak up the sun on warm summer days.
This family living space also includes an eye-catching contemporary fitted kitchen with numerous storage units, a peninsula unit with Belfast sink and extensive countertop space, the latter created with locally sourced olive ash timber. The kitchen also accommodates a complete range of integrated appliances, all included in the sale.
To the front of the house is a large living room, which was extended as part of the remodelling work and further enhanced by the addition of a new fireplace featuring a solid fuel-burning stove with marble hearth and surround. This room is accessed from the kitchen through sliding pocket doors, which when opened up add to the property’s feeling light and space by creating a direct flow between the two rooms.
Downstairs accommodation is completed by a welcoming entrance hall, which has been enhanced by the installation of a guest bathroom, composite front door and modular understair storage.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, including the main overlooking the back garden, with full-wall built-in wardrobes that were renovated as part of the improvements. Bedrooms 2 and 3 overlook the front garden, while there’s also a landing with family bathroom off and hot press off, and access to the attic via a pull down ladder.
Back downstairs, those double glass doors can slide back to open up on to the back garden, so combining exterior and interior space to create a true ‘room outside’ on sunny days. At the front, the property has a low-maintenance gravelled garden with a driveway providing generous off-street parking for two cars.
The property’s long list of improvements includes conversion of the central heating system from oil to gas, installation of a new boiler, underfloor heating in all downstairs rooms and new radiators in all upstairs rooms.
With its bright and airy feel, many features and highly convenient location, we strongly recommend viewing of this great family home. Call us to today to arrange one.
